Seen at Wanaka yesterday (19-02-2013) was this Cessna A185F ZK-FMA (c/n 18503513) of Southern Alps Air Ltd from Makarora.
It came to NZ as a rebuild project for Aeromotive Overhauls Ltd of Hamilton and was registered to them on 14-10-1985. After lease to Aspiring Air in 1986 - 1987 it went to Southern Alps Air Charter Ltd on 09-02-1987 and to its current listed operator on 15-07-1994.
Now THAT's a beaut machine! Wish she was mine.
ReplyDeleteLook at the wheels in that last photo (front view)! Wow, she looks heavy there for some reason...
